Destiny is the Claude Code's plugin that gives you a real fortune reading. Type /destiny to see today's destiny! It uses the actual classical East Asian astrology system. You enter your birthday once, then /destiny gives you today's reading anytime. Two layers, kept honest: 1. The numbers (your eight-character birth chart, today's day pillar, the hexagram for the moment, five-element relationships) are computed by a Python script. Same person + same day = identical output. You can verify against any traditional calendar source. 2. The prose (today's stars, character sketch, life arc, advice) is written by Claude, applying centuries-old reading conventions to that fixed data. Not LLM-hallucinated horoscope. If you have fun with it, a star would mean a lot. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I am resisting the urge to be very snarky. But how do you know that Claude's hallucinated horoscopes are any less accurate than traditional techniques? Have you A/B tested them? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Since you seem to be mentioning 'destiny', 'life arc' and 'advice' -it may be wise to put in some kind of a legal disclaimer for your own sake -- the use of LLM toys for advice about life and similar have led to some really bad outcomes, even suicides as we know now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I thought anthropic is tightening usage but it seems people have nothing to do with their tokens … | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Looks like a supply chain risk to me. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Could you flesh out the installation instructions a little more? I haven't used the plugin marketplace yet, and don't have a /plugin command. Claude itself is not able to tell me how to install it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Curious what prompt boundaries you're using. It's the kind of thing that's fun until it quietly invents details. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

for what it's worth I think this is fun. I'm not into this sort of thing but it's fun none the less. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I would recommend you consider a Claude code hook, you could then specify a particular part of the agent lifecycle to invoke the fortune as an alternative to manual invocation of the skill. You could do it on `SessionStart` to give a horoscope. I am looking at making a skill to test random programming knowledge, so I don't forget that an Integer is 32bits (at least in Java) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

interesting, but I really wonder how big the audience is of people wanting to know their fortune while claude coding within the claude code interface | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Yes this is exactly what we need — the hallucinating dunning-Krueger inducing psychosis machine spewing made up pseudoscientific nonsense. Bravo. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Now the call center cranks will have even better scripts to read. Perfect... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
